>No, they are the exact same case. The 8600 board is just shorter, minus >three pci slots. The 8600 and 9600 use the same power supply also.
The cases are indeed identical, as are nearly everything else. The 9600 motherboard uses the same single M3.5-0.6 retaining screw, but the number and position of the plastic board retaining hooks is different. Obviously, the case is punched for both the 8600 and the 9600 retaining hook positions. To put a 9600 in an 8600 case, you'll need to cover the A-V area opening and the video area opening, if you want. To put an 8600 in a 9600 case, you'll have to remove the A-V cover and punch out the video cover. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
